Viña Salceda Entresierras, Rioja

While I’ve previously reviewed the wines of Viña Salceda here, when it comes to their white offer, to date it’s only been the more general ‘Blanco’. This bottle of Entresierras shifts things up a great deal. For starters, the blend is quite wild as while there’s the typical base of Viura/Macabeu and the now, more-typical Tempranillo Blanco, it also tosses in the rarer Calagraño, Malvasia Rioja/Alarije and then the red, Graciano of all things. I can solidly state that I’ve never encountered a blend anywhere near similar to this for […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription .

The wines of true note this time around were the sparklings produced under DO Cava and the ‘Vintage’ was a truly excellent wine. Although at 50€ plus retail, one would indeed expect quite […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription .

Dominio de Tares – Cepas Viejas Godello 2025

The grape variety of Godello is no stranger to these pages and for good reason as it is, astounding. There is only thing that astounds me more than wines of this grape and that’s how they’re not more popular than they are. It’s relatively easy to pronounce Castilian, you can make puns of the ‘god’ part or just the ‘go’. While there were many hot takes on how it ‘should’ be in the past, it’s coming around to really only have one singular face to it of saline, citric excellence.
